The inauguration of the elected President and Vice President, Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka, received a positive response from business people in the country. Of course, with the hope that the new government will be able to boost the community's economy more, so that the business wheels can run properly.

One of them welcomes the land logistics transportation company, Lazuardo Logistic fully supports the government's efforts to encourage digital transformation, the use of single tariff multimodals, optimizing sea toll routes, and strengthening connectivity with the determination of hubs and speech, as well as increasing accessibility between regions.

Purnomo, President Director of Lazuardo Logistics, revealed that strengthening the National Logistics System (Sislognas) can be achieved through programs to strengthen the national logistics ecosystem, programs to strengthen infrastructure and connectivity, programs to increase human resource competitiveness and logistics service providers, as well as digital transformation programs for logistics services.

"Currently, the readiness of Indonesia's 4.0 industry is still at level 2, so it is necessary to develop logistics human resources that consider the needs of users, body of knowledge, and KKNI," said Purnomo in Jakarta, Wednesday (23/10).

"The logistics governance data has challenges in the various actors who play a role in the logistics process and each has its own standardization of how the logistics process must be carried out," explained Purnomo again.

Purnomo's statement also welcomed the statement from the Head of the ITB Logistics Study Center, TITah Yudhistira, recently in Bandung, West Java. Titah said that the progress of the logistics industry is very important in supporting the country's economy. Moreover, to realize the vision of Indonesia Gold 2045 requires strengthening national logistics.

In the Logistics Performance Improvement seminar in Indonesia: Reflection, Challenges, and Opportunities for the National Logistics System in the West ITB Hall, Bandung, last week, Titah said that Sislognas' action plan in Presidential Regulation 26/2012, the government had completed around 70 percent, and 44 percent had been completed.

In addition, the government has also made efforts to make various initiatives contained in the massive sea toll program, INSW, NLE, and development of transportation infrastructure and logistics.

Purnomo admits that there have been many innovation efforts to improve logistics performance in Indonesia. It's just that this change occurred in a partial and less fast and precise sector.

"It takes a comprehensive, fast, and precise change to improve logistics performance in Indonesia so that it can have a significant effect on market arrangements," said Purnomo.

According to Purnomo, current conditions are needed to share the perceptions of various stakeholders, such as regulators, business actors, consultants, and academics. It is hoped that events in the form of discussions will often be held by involving all components. That way it will be revealed about various challenges and opportunities, especially regarding logistics transportation and generally the national logistics system.

One of the issues that can be obtained later is the national logistics, which currently the mode of transportation of choice is land. Examples of Jakarta-Surabaya 800 km. 90 percent of the choices are land, sea is only 9 percent. Therefore, through seminars or discussion forums, you can invite all stakeholders to find a dialogistic solution, an effort to find a solution together.

The national logistics issue is realized as an urgent problem that must be improved significantly, to support more optimistic economic growth. Provide certainty of equitable development, and ensure the maximum involvement of logistics industry business actors in the international supply chain.
